As I recently told Casey I don't have an easy time with this webiste because I access it through AOL and think I should be using internet explorer, but I have just read everyone's response to my nueropathy question (a little late I know) and can't thank everyone enough. My mother was diagnosed Nov. 05 with NCSLC 1V. She received taxol, carbo and some avastin but had to stop when blood counts kept dropping. She also have severe shortness of breath after one treatment of gemzar. She is now on tarceva and stable and so we will wait for the next CT scan. February scan showed some shrinkage. My mother has not yet mastered the computer (dial-up is too slow) and my sister just doesn't go on this site, but for me it is a life saver. My mother probably wouldn't have taken avastin or tarceva if it wasn't for this site. One oncologist said she shouldn't waste her time with tarceva because it only works in 10 percent of the people. If I didn't push things (solely based on the info. I received from lchelp) I don't know what I would do. Sorry this was so long but I appreciate everyone on this site. I read the new treatments section every night like it is a nighttime story. I will have to get back to reading everyone's questions and concern.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Be well
